It's not about reality, it's about moral philosophy.

Not eating meat, eggs and honey because you feel sad about animals is now considered a valid moral position called veganism instead of mental illness.

I'm not talking about science (which still seems undecided on whether eating eggs is good or bad), I've observed shifting attitudes that originated from the USA and wonder why people feeling sad for animals is now considered a good reason to not eat various types of food.

In many ways, veganism seems like a budding religion that is trying to get off the ground, but instead of asking whether you are ready to accept Jesus as your savior they ask if you are ready to feel sad for animals.
